After the NBA is done with the Orlando bubble, college basketball will move in.
According to a report from Jon Rothstein, eight high-profile non-conference college basketball events will take place in Orlando, presumably at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex where the NBA playoffs are currently taking place.
The eight events are the Champions Classic, the Jimmy V Classic, Preseason NIT, Orlando Invitational, Myrtle Beach Invitational, Charleston Classic, Wooden Legacy, and Diamond Head Classic.
The NBA Finals will end no later than Oct. 13, paving the way for college basketball to begin there in November. The NCAA will officially announce the start of the college basketball season on Wednesday, when more specifics will become clear.
“Just like the NBA, they have access to all these hotel rooms and quality basketball venues,” one industry insider said. “I think they want to start the season with the Champions Classic.”
